Peat pots

[xwordmad]

Hi, I recently bought a cheapy propogator which included a couple of free peat pots cells with it... Now my seeds are big enough to transpalnt, do I transplant the seedlings into a bigger pot in the cell? Does it break down? Hope this makes sence! Thanks in advance.

I think you can plant the peat pots into larger pots and the roots will grow through - perhaps someone else can verify this? I'm no expert - I just like answering questions !!

The idea of the peat pot is that you don't have to disturb the root system by removing the plant from its pot. You just put the whole lot into a bigger container, (or straight into the garden). Once the peat pot is damp all the way through, it will soften and allow the roots to penetrate, and the peat becomes part of the earth or compost.
